Synopsis

Having achieved his life-long dream of being a pilot, Hajime is first officer on an international jetliner and is now working to become a captain. But he can't seem to please Captain Mizushima, who has become an exacting taskmaster since an air incident many years ago. To complicate matters, he begins a relationship with stubborn and straight-talking mechanic, Ayumi, whose parents died many years ago in the plane crash for which Captain Mizushima feels he is responsible. What follows is a story of 21st century love, dreams and passion.

1.	Awesome! [Rating: 10/10] I haven't seen one like this one for a while. Great pace, top notch casting and good script. I was moved by every episode. This is a MUST see for dorama fans...

2.	Good show [Rating: 8/10] Takuya Kimura is the cool dude as always but his character in this drama is better rounded in the interplay of his family ties. He is often the maverick in his dramas. So it is refreshing to see him as a grudgingly respectful son to his reticent father and a caring, playful bully to his younger brother. Beneath the macho veneer of all three, is an understated love for each other. His leading lady is not the usual chatty feminine but an ice-cool mechanic that straddles the motorbike. Though her role is rather limited. From the start, both are reluctant to admit their mutual attraction and keep stealing sidelong glances at each other. The plot (case by case flight incidents and encounters) is not very substantial but carried through by the good performance of the cast. Overall entertaining. Especially if one is a Takuya Kimura’s die-hard (like me) just so to catch his cool vibes!!

3.	Memorable and Great! [Rating: 9/10] This drama really deserves good credits. It has every bits of what a good story should have. This drama is really enjoyable. You can see the heroic act, family value and of course the romance. Good Luck is the great drama and memorable too. I personally think that it should be voted as one of the most memorable drama of this year.

5.	Disapponted. Shibasaki looks pissed all the time [Rating: 4/10] The situations created in each episode are so contrived but that's not the main problem, which is Shibasaki Kou. She looks pissed and constantly pouting when ever the camera points at her. She's clearly an incapable actress and she's not that attractive at all. I ended up fastforwarding every scene with her in. In the end, I just don't care about the internal struggle of her nor the story at all.

10.	It was a good try..... [Rating: 7/10] The writers tried their best to make a story out of a pilot. It's just not too realistic though. But then again, it's a drama, so things happen to these people every episode, but I sure wouldn't fly with them in real life. Kimura Takuya is his brilliant self, but he's beginning to become too predictable in his acting, almost as if he's playing the same character in each of his dramas. It's a relaxing drama; there aren't any big twists in plots or any pondering over after watching it. Good for overall entertainment, just don't take it too seriously.

Shibasaki's acting was was great and I feel very convinced about her hidden sorrows from just watching her facial expressions. Kimu is great as usual. Tsutsumi is also great in his straight and sharp appearance. I could not put this down and now I have to eat and go potty.

32.	Review for Good Luck !! [Rating: 8/10] Being and aviation buff I must say this is one of the best aviation drama's I have seen compared to the Hollywood junks you get in the movies. Sadly while the directors tried to explain the story life of a pilot in high detail there still lack some accuracy. But to the good points first. In terms of the technical quite a lot of the plots were well replicated such as the dispatch& NOTAMS pilot briefing rooms. As for the flight deck shots they were also well replicated. To give a few most of the procedures call outs that were played by the actors were also very accurate to the details used by everyday pilots e.g. the landing call outs sounded by Capt Kouda and Shinkai during the Honolulu landings. What really impresses me was details like the Capt Kouda take off sequence. You actually see he pushes a button in front of the throttle quadrants. That is actually real as they are the TA/GO switches used by pilots to do full automatic throttle control take off. Another example was the bad weather landing at Tokyo sequence that Shinkai and Kouda did which required the automatic pilot landing. Pushing the APP switch at the MCP activating the 3 pilot switch and all accurate. Sadly while a lot of detail was put into making the drama extremely believable there were some shots taken by the film crew that could have been better with more efforts on their side. For example many times you will see confusion in the airplane sequence where they shot 747-400 in flight and a 747-200 at the ramp making it confusing which aircraft Shinkai was flying Even worst the first episode shot showing his senpai and him using a B767 and later on flying a 747 (the gear door opening sequence). Also the cockpit is another problem. It was model against a 747-400 so during the times Shinkai was flying a B767 or a B 747-200 would be actually totally different. Another shot that was strange was when Shinkai did the ground check of the aircraft and found a feather in the engine. That was clearly a B767 but later on you see him and the Capt flying a B747. The directors should have stick to one aircraft type shots that would have made if very realistic. Non-technical the story line was driven by the typical Japanese company concept of respecting your senpai and juniors always fearing their seniors. This is actually not true in the case of aviation companies I would assume would be the case for actual ANA practise as well. In a flight while the Capt is responsible for everything the relationship between a co-pilot and Capt. is more colleagues orientated as appose to senior – junior relationship. Capt normally seek advice and opinions of Co pilots during any crisis and decision making to reduce error of judgment. Also for any decision made BOTH pilots MUST be in agreement. Also Co-pilots are also trained to the capacity equivalent and proficiency as the Capt. Meaning Co-pilots can carry out all necessary duties without the aid of a Capt if the necessity arises. So the first episode sequence is not very realistic from an aviation point of view. The rank associated with is merely due to seniority in the company and not to the level of competence or knowledge of the pilot in question. All in all it is still an impressive Drama catering for the usual hustle bustle of Japanese life while adding the realistic ness of a pilots life or a co pilots life to be more exact.

33.	Great drama. [Rating: 10/10] I personally thought this was a great drama. I really like Kimura Takuya character in this drama. Shibasaki Kou on the other hand had a totally different character from him. I actually think it's funny when they quarrel all the time (but most think it's annoying, yes i know.) I seriously didn't like Tsutsumi Shinichi charcter in the drama, but if it wasn't him, then I don;t think Kimura Takuya would be as motivated in his job, but then he loves his job as a pilot anyway. After watching the drama, i feel unsafe to go on the plane again. XD jk jk. Well, I just learnt that many things can happen on the plane and that everyone had to co-operate so well in order to keep passengers fell safe on the plane. I really like the last 3 episode of the drama. Kimura <3 LOLZ!

I liked how they showed Kimura's character interacting with his family, playing around with his brother and trying to get through to his father. It seems like every character has something unique to add to the plot. I loved watching the subtle romance grow between Shinkai (Kimura) and Ogawa (Shibasaki), and Koda (Tsutsumi) finally loosening up and trying to start his relationship with Togashi (Kuroki) over. Then there was comic relief from Shinkai's crazy neighbor, and the pilot Naito Jane (Takenaka), who I really liked. I found the flights and incidents interesting. This drama makes me think pilots are so cool! It's definetly one everyone should look into watching.

Kou Shibasaki was wonderful with her realistic portrayal as the icy cool mechanic Ayumi Ogawa. Very believable and refreshing in that her character represents a departure from this stylized ideal of Japanese femininity. Kuroki Hitomi as Noriko Hitomi was awesome and lovely looking as ever. A seasoned actress with a great capacity when it comes to acting. Not as uber-depressing as some dramas that leave you drenched in tears. If you want to watch something light-hearted and romatically mellow, this might be your thing. Some intense dramatic moments but balanced out so as not to be too "heavy." Watch it....and "good luck."

Shibasaki Kou's character is rather strong, but I don't really see a strong chemistry built between her and Takuya's character Shinkai. I'd have loved to see someone like Kanno Miho in that role instead, which would make the show even more fabulous. The supporting cast lead by Kuroki Hitomi is respectable, although not overly exceptional (maybe because they don't have much chance to develop) The OST is fantastic for this drama. Anyway, I would recommend this to any dorama viewer.

I would pick Good Luck over Pride, because Pride is too DRAMATIC, the main reason is that 90 % of the plot focus on Halu and Aki.Every thing happens will affect them , soon or later. Overall I think It's a dragging love story. Aki has not much personality,I would like to see more. She can act, she has a pretty face , wish she could be more interesting. GL is simple funny ( of course Takuya stole the show ) but this serie focus more on other people's life goal. We has a chance to see and understand other despite from the main characters. The love story may not be as strong mentioned as in Pride but It's much more enjoyable for me.=P

52.	Good, but really cliche [Rating: 7/10] I’m a little disappointed in this drama. Not because it was bad. In fact, this drama was very good. I think my expectations for it were just too high. I’ve heard so many grand reviews that my anticipation swelled to the point where I was expecting nothing but the best. To be fair, the cast truly delivered. Kimura was brilliant, as usual, and it was nice to see him portray a character in moments of weakness. Shibasaki Kou was charming and truly shined in that modest, humble way she has with her audience. I was truly shocked with Tsutsumi Shinichi and his portrayal of Koda Kazuki. I have only previously seen him in Lunch Queen and his character was completely different. I was very impressed with his performance. Uchiyama Rina was really annoying in the beginning. Her pathetic, pushy character was not at all appealing. However, after her starring episode, when she fell back into just being an “extra”, she became a silly, loud, colourful personality again and was easier to watch. Of course, to balance her painful role, there was Kuroki Hitomi. I could tell right away that she is a gifted actress with quite a bit of experience. I’m still in shock that she’s nearly fifty. She has far more star quality and talent than most actresses in the business today. It was the plot that let me down. The story was far too average. It was one big cliche´. We have the protagonist (Kimura) who is a young, handsome, upbeat individual who acts carefree but is really in love with his job and has a deep soul. Then we have the antagonist (Tsutsumi), who is perfect in all things the protagonist fails in, and causes much grief for the protagonist… in the beginning. The protagonist than realizes that the antagonist is in fact a nice guy and begins to respect him. In the end, the protagonist proves himself to the antagonist by some heroic act, and thereby makes himself equal to the antagonist, who in turn acknowledges and befriends/respects the protagonist. In the midst of all this, we have the female lead (Shibasaki) who is simply there as a vessel through which both the protagonist and antagonist can reveal their inner selves to the audience. Mix in some extras for comedy relief, and you have yourself a story. I was disappointed when Koda’s past experience was revealed. It seemed really anti-climatic. I was assuming that he was the survivor of a crash, but instead the incident was lame. I was also disturbed by Shinkai’s quick decision to go through a surgery that had less than 10% success rate. If he cared about flying as much as he claimed, why gamble so readily? And his recovery took all but 5 minutes of the show. Why all the drama if you’re not going to play up the part? Because the main plot is thin, each episode has an inciting incident specific to that one episode. If it hadn’t been for the amazing talent in this drama, I’m not sure if I would have enjoyed it. As it stands, this drama does have an amazing cast, and I enjoyed the drama… regardless of its blueprint plot.

1.	Comments by 100aw [Rating: 8/10] Kimu Taku Banzai! Just so handsome as a pilot!
2.	Comments by jdfan [Rating: 10/10] This drama scored a rating 31.6% first week. Kimura Takuya magic did it again. This is a very enjoyable and he proves to many drama fans that he still has it. The interesting relationship between the leads and suppoting case is great! In addition, this is rare that Kimura had shown a father and son relationship, except "A Sleeping Forest"! A MUST watch for the season... you won't find an all star cast like this too often!!
3.	Comments by marzyu [Rating: 6/10] i didn't like it at all . . . .. it's wayyyyyyyyy too much like "Big Wing" . .. . . . hahaha sorry!!!!! but i harsh thought this drama was too overrated . . . .but i think all kimura takuya dramas are overrated . . . but i can't say anything until i watch "Beautiful Life" ^.^
4.	Comments by yuka [Rating: 8/10] Brandish machismo in the strong male cast who brings a credible performance to the light plot. Young pop-idol Kimura held his own against his much older substantive male co-stars. There seems to be a genuine sense of camaraderie amongst them. Departing from being the usual maverick, his portrayal of a grudgingly loving and caring son/elder brother is noteworthy. Quite an enjoyable and entertaining ride with just a light touch of romance for spice.
5.	Comments by maguro666 [Rating: 8/10] Love Kimura and the supporting casts (especially Hitomi Kurki and Takenaka Naoto). Fun and cute!

8.	Comments by eien [Rating: 7/10] well...takuya so...i'll give it a 7 anyway...but not great
9.	Comments by Akakage [Rating: 9/10] Just one word for this drama that I can say "GREAT!!" it is my all time favorite. I can watch it over and over again
10.	Comments by Genma [Rating: 7/10] Watchable but not the type that would keep me glued.
11.	Comments by zealous [Rating: 10/10] best... from this drama i know what the really work for pilot, and the most things is because takuyalahhhh.... hensemmmm.... hahahhaah. the story plot is very nice and the cast is pretty good.
12.	Comments by juliana_phang [Rating: 10/10] fantastic!!! great drama! it took me a day to complete the whole show!~ just love it!~
13.	Comments by DukeGonzalez [Rating: 10/10] another great dorama.. actually just put kimutaku as the lead, any dorama will be worth watching.
14.	Comments by takuya_angel [Rating: 10/10] This is definitely the BEST 2003 DORAMA!!! I was blown away by Takuya's role as a pilot and the interesting plots in each episode. This show just proves it that Takuya is the best actor there is!!! I didn't realise that working in the airlines can be such a pain in the @$$...
15.	Comments by manutunia [Rating: 8/10] just love takuya... the drama it's ok for laugh and fun story..
16.	Comments by Ryvyan [Rating: 9/10] This drama rocks! It's not overly draggy nor does the lead (Kimura Takuya) preach and all after each episode unlike some dramas I watch. It flows smoothly and you can see the growing up of the young co-pilot (Kimura) and the jobs nature of the other people who are involved. Great stuff!
17.	Comments by Evilryu [Rating: 10/10] Haven't watched all episodes, but I can say that Kimura has done it again!
18.	Comments by Geno_SV [Rating: 9/10] Really darn great. Has everything you can ask for: Kimura Takuya acting, Uchiyama Rina acting (and her looks) and good story. Go see it! (Rating 9.9/10)
19.	Comments by vienna_sg [Rating: 10/10] Excellent show. Really like the story. Was very touching, almost cry. TK was very handsome. Watch so many times and still not sick of it
20.	Comments by windrider [Rating: 7/10] The story is okay, but abit lame at times.
21.	Comments by syu77 [Rating: 10/10] I realllllly.....love watching this drama. a good acting by its cast especially Takuya kimura.
22.	Comments by pj0t [Rating: 9/10] great!!!~ takuya did a great job.. kakoi desu ne!~ a must watch drama for takuya's fan... he's so damn marvellous in this drama.. falling in love with takuya.. again and again maa ne.... Shibasaki Kou also did a great job honnntoni sugoiiiii....... a credit for Tsutsumi Shinichi damn serious, totally different from his role in Yamadato... watch it n u'll never regret!!!
23.	Comments by princess [Rating: 10/10] personally thought this was a great drama. I really like Kimura Takuya character in this drama. Shibasaki Kou on the other hand had a totally different character from him. I actually think it's funny when they quarrel all the time (but most think it's annoying, yes i know.) I seriously didn't like Tsutsumi Shinichi charcter in the drama, but if it wasn't him, then I don;t think Kimura Takuya would be as motivated in his job, but then he loves his job as a pilot anyway. After watching the drama, i feel unsafe to go on the plane again. XD jk jk. Well, I just learnt that many things can happen on the plane and that everyone had to co-operate so well in order to keep passengers fell safe on the plane. I really like the last 3 episode of the drama. Kimura <3 LOLZ!
24.	Comments by Warrior [Rating: 10/10] Yeah!!!!!!!!I just love it.Takuya is so cool as a pilot.After watching all of the episodes,I am not afraid of flying anymore!!!Actually it is quite a touching dorama when takuya almost gives up being a pilot because he accid3ntally breaks his legs when trying to help his senior!!sob...sob...
25.	Comments by carie_akanishi [Rating: 8/10] It was not bad for a Takuya dorama. Takuya really handsome in the pilot uniform and Tsusumi Shinichi was really cool in it, I was like watching for him.Haha...
26.	Comments by michiru3 [Rating: 8/10] Kimura did a great job here! So did Tsutsumi Shinichi (sooo diff from Yamato Nadeshiko) and I also loved (the lead stewardess) Kuroki Hitomi's part. The plane's whole crew had good chemistry together and was fun to watch them interact. The only annoying one was Shibasaki Kou (Ogawa Ayumi), playing KimuTaku's love interest. For me, the pilot-struggle plot was MUCH more interesting than the love-love plot btwn those 2. I actually skipped over parts with her in it b/c they were just too boring. Yea, I know she's troubled b/c her parents died, but why is she still so cold & uptight all the time?? Plus, scenes with her didn't really push the story much, so they weren't necessary to watch thru. Those scenes were mostly just KimuTaku telling her stuff that happened....which we already know b/c we've been watching!!! But luckily, her love story with Kimura isn't that heavy, so that's good. Other than Ogawa & her lisp-y way of talking, i really enjoyed this drama.
27.	Comments by scullbox82 [Rating: 10/10] this whole plot is very exciting..
28.	Comments by Hee Hee Hee [Rating: 9/10] superb....the girl is v pretty looks abit like faye wong..cool....tis show talks alot abt flying aeroplane...v interesting...kimura is sooooo....cooll.....like his new hairstyle!
29.	Comments by oshio_minahmi [Rating: 9/10] i can't believe this! after so many years kim-taku still looks cute..
30.	Comments by jastical [Rating: 8/10] Quite nice, can feel the excitement and challenges of being a pilot!
31.	Comments by samurai_x [Rating: 8/10] Very motivating show. I really enjoyed it.
32.	Comments by Kendesu [Rating: 9/10] i'm not a big kimura fan but i really enjoyed the drama alot.
33.	Comments by TsuyoshiK [Rating: 9/10] The story was good. Saw how teamwork played an impt role in the flight career.
34.	Comments by db9paka [Rating: 6/10] I didn't really like Takuya's image in this one... He just didn't have the X-factor anymore (becoz of his hair, maybe?) Luckily he changed his hairstyle for the MIJ concert. Short hair (or rather short NORMAL hair) is just not for him... thinks me...
35.	Comments by numlock84 [Rating: 10/10] nothing to say...i still cant hold my eyes from crying everytime watching japanese drama...so touching my heart....
36.	Comments by z_rulez [Rating: 10/10] give you hope and spirit
37.	Comments by jupiter [Rating: 9/10] Y-Gen love-hate relationship, well connected sequence. Both leads were compatible.
38.	Comments by Uchiha Potato [Rating: ?/10] Curently Watching
39.	Comments by thyelaine [Rating: 10/10] A very good dorama indeed. Like the fact that it made a pilot's life seems so interesting.
40.	Comments by orenji [Rating: 9/10] Personally, I like the storyline a lot. The good music in the show contributes a lot as well. Great OST! :)
41.	Comments by rikastar [Rating: 7/10] As if I didn't already think pilots were cool, Kimura makes the occupation look even better. The plot about the growth of 1st officer Shinkai is pretty straightforward, but some of the weekly stories are pretty good. I still think his love interest, a female mechanic like Kou is unbelievable but she suits the stubborn and firm character pretty well. Tsutsumi Shinichi and Kuroki Hitomi were also good in their roles of the more experienced and good mentors in the company.
42.	Comments by cola_cherry [Rating: 10/10] brilliant
43.	Comments by Coolsmurf [Rating: 8/10] pretti cool drama although theres really nothing much you can do with a pilot drama really, but the interaction between the characters were interesting!
44.	Comments by jo [Rating: 7/10] A nice drama, but the story was kinda boring. Dorama acting was horrible for some characters, and I wouldn't say this here, but for the first time, Kimutaku acting was freakin ordinary. Still it was very interesting. C+
45.	Comments by Bsalez [Rating: 9/10] Kimutaku again n again why He is Jdrama star no.1.ne
46.	Comments by nagaioyasumi [Rating: 7/10] Not a bad dorama, and a great performance from the entire cast, but at times, the plot became a bit predictable. An enjoyable watch.
47.	Comments by Ikha [Rating: 8/10] Great drama, great cast, smooth story line. thought the ending was a bit unrealistic. not focused entirely on the love story. i just love it when Kimura Takuya plays a determined guy. he really defines determination
48.	Comments by SushiMaki [Rating: 5/10] Just curious how good is Takuya. Ended up being more curious on Kou and later on Rina. Plot is a little bit unusual.
49.	Comments by Hoshi [Rating: 10/10] Very good!! Great cast, great drama, great soundtrack. The characters have great chemistry between them. I would say this is one of Takuya's best! Two thumbs up!
50.	Comments by we!Rd^dUcK [Rating: ?/10] well!! this one is in my top 15... de story was simple n straight forward... nothing's gain nothing loose... just kimura was so KAWAIII in it...
51.	Comments by leoninesevenone [Rating: 9/10] kimutaku is soo kakkoi! totemo ii dorama desu yo. it is a must to watch this. be careful though, the ending will make u really touched!
52.	Comments by Tiffany [Rating: 8/10] Loved it! It was totally addictive, my whole family loved it. Admittedly, this type of role does not seem to challenge Takuya Kimura as an actor since it is nothing new to characters he has played in the past, but for him, it just really works. In the end, you have a cute, romantic dorama!
53.	Comments by kenvin [Rating: 10/10] Kimura is damn good looking in this show. I love his short hairstyle!
54.	Comments by adreanna_lee [Rating: 9/10] Aiyaiyaiyai! Kakkoiii!!! Sugoi!!! Shinichi Tsutsumi was awesome! Know what's keeping me from giving this drama a 10? Two words: Ko Shibasaki.
55.	Comments by atheon [Rating: 10/10] Nov 2003: the only drama made me watch 6 cds in a row. Great cast, setting, fast pace, shibasaki kou was soo cool. My fave kimura's drama.
56.	Comments by biga816 [Rating: 10/10] I loved this drama from beginning to end.
57.	Comments by masnita [Rating: 7/10] As usual, another best work by kimutaku but what really add the spark to the drama is the role of "Captain Koda" - hope I'm not mistaken about the name....really cool guy...
58.	Comments by Amika [Rating: 9/10] The best drama of 2003.. story is great and come with a very good ost as well... the only downfall is the chemistry between Shibasaki Kou and Kimura Takuya
59.	Comments by snell [Rating: 10/10] An excellent jdrama on one's dreams & aspirations. Kimura's best performance in this drama. Different casting & directing from the other dramas I've watched. =)
60.	Comments by cynee [Rating: 8/10] very interesting insight to the airline industry... Kimura Takuya has great chemistry with the rest of the cast!
61.	Comments by FierceStriker [Rating: 8/10] Standard Kimura Takuya show. Typical plot, typical love story. I am kind of getting bored of Kimura shows.
62.	Comments by Maschera [Rating: 7/10] although the drama comes with an interesting opening theme, the story fails to impress me. But.. hmm still worth a watch. Kou Shibasaki is cute !
63.	Comments by Michelly789 [Rating: 9/10] Acted out very well. Who would've thought a drama about pilots and stewardesses would keep my attention for so long?
64.	Comments by dummyuser11 [Rating: ?/10] Just finished watching it up to 3 a.m...loved the ending...made me appreciate those pilots out there...never thought it was such a serious and tough job... Takuya Kimura was gorgeous....loved his hair...sigh
65.	Comments by xuanie [Rating: 9/10] good!
66.	Comments by yume [Rating: 6/10] ...pretty tame--I thought it was going to be more entertaining, but I am not forcing myself to watch it. Good acting, good eye-candy...boring story. yawn
67.	Comments by daigong6weeks [Rating: 10/10] Kou Shibasaki is a delight!
68.	Comments by sabriel [Rating: 7/10] Typical Kimura Takuya drama, so it was good. it was cute. but that was it. nothing really impacting me to tears tho. but it was a nice quaint little series.
69.	Comments by hide_hikaru_minako [Rating: 8/10] interesting enough to make me keep me captivated to the screen through out all the episodes. Really like kimura takuya with his new haircut...looks much nicer compared to the past styles.Shibasaki Kou was great in the show... although i dont think that shes that pretty but i just love her hair. Kuroki Hitomi and Shinichi Tsutsumi rox!
70.	Comments by eien Bussan [Rating: 6/10] i only enjoyed the Hawaii scenes and the final couple episodes
71.	Comments by iluvhyde [Rating: 10/10] BEST!! Wonderful show~
72.	Comments by DragonSpirit164 [Rating: 8/10] Good drama. Lots of insight provided on the things that happen inside the cockpit of the plane during a flight. I was really moved by the fact that Shinkai was always looking to help his passengers however he can, even though he was not supposed to. I also felt inspired by Shinkai's determination to be a pilot at the end!
73.	Comments by joychin [Rating: 8/10] okay...
74.	Comments by makimura_RAn [Rating: 10/10] Kimutaku has done it again. Great dorama. All the cast was so good. The story was so meaningful. The KISS between Kimutaku and Kou are so "special" and funny. Great2! Don't miss it.
75.	Comments by fiundin [Rating: 8/10] A feel good drama with plenty of comedy and gripping storylines. Well worth the watch. The soundtrack rocks too!
76.	Comments by SabrinaOshio [Rating: 10/10] Good match between them....they have good chemistry in this drama......and you will love this drama as I do...
77.	Comments by Jewel [Rating: 10/10] What I can see here is the coolest, kakkoi pilot in Nihon airline! Takuya sure looks good with that pilot uniform. Not forgetting his co-stars Shibasaki Kou, whom has the strong temper and will. Love the ending of the story where both of them get together in Honolulu. Best drama of the Year!!
78.	Comments by PinkSpider [Rating: 10/10] I love this one... it's good i'm lookin for pride now...
79.	Comments by zanonia [Rating: 10/10] Very good - Tsutsumi Shinichi san is very good at acting.
80.	Comments by jade_frost [Rating: 5/10] So exaggerated!!! Storyline is very contrived and the lines Kimura spouts is amazingly idealistic misguided nonsense for a pilot. I sure won't wanna be his passenger. Kept wondering how they could make the count up to 10 eps.
81.	Comments by subaruppi [Rating: 9/10] Yet another excellent KimuTaku drama. Sounds funny, but I love seeing this man cry. It moves me to no end....and the chemistry with Shibasaki Kou is definitely there. I liked seeing them together FAR more in this one than "Sora Kara..."
82.	Comments by haydenz [Rating: 10/10] a very good story.kimutaku as usual played his character perfectly.i've made new impression bout kou shibasaki.kind a sweet gurl huh?after watche this i think i want to be a pilot.hehe..give it 10/10
83.	Comments by pipkin [Rating: 10/10] best!
84.	Comments by shiitake [Rating: 8/10] another kimura's drama..once 'gain he shows a brilliant acting skill..same for kou shibasaki! love her ice-queen face..good combination of actors!
85.	Comments by AngelXing [Rating: 9/10] Just finished watching it up to 3 a.m...loved the ending...made me appreciate those pilots out there...never thought it was such a serious and tough job... Takuya Kimura was gorgeous....loved his hair...sigh
86.	Comments by swoc [Rating: 9/10] currently watching. nothing more to say, all of takuya's dramas are good. inspires me to become a pilot.
87.	Comments by enazekinaz [Rating: 7/10] pilot
88.	Comments by dummyuser16 [Rating: 9/10] The best performance by Kimura I have ever seen. Shibasaki Kou is a great actress, not to mention very beautiful. Overall, a must watch for any drama fan.
89.	Comments by doramafans [Rating: 8/10] cool
90.	Comments by kaka [Rating: 8/10] omoshiroi,sweet..
91.	Comments by Surpur [Rating: 10/10] So far I watched through episode 8 and can't wait to see the rest... I give it an A++++++
92.	Comments by zooone [Rating: 7/10] pretty standard, light hearted, crisis-by-crisis drama. enjoyable
93.	Comments by Super No. 1 [Rating: 9/10] It was really good. Great cast with plenty of interesting characters. Good story--serious but with a sense of humor.
94.	Comments by Erikku-kun [Rating: 7/10] A typical drama with Kimutaku. Has a lot of tense moments filled with excitement and suspense which will make you sticked into the series. Good acting overall, with many differences in personalities! But sometimes this Dorama lacks that special feeling, and the soundtrack could be a little better. So I give it 7/10 !
95.	Comments by Hide/Takky [Rating: 10/10] Simple one of the best!!
96.	Comments by isa_kamal [Rating: 9/10] Hail Rina Uchiyama
97.	Comments by Mister Pozart [Rating: 9/10] Really cool drama for a plane's lover. Tsutsumi Shinichi is a great actor. I don't like Kimura's acting but his acting in this drama is good.
98.	Comments by Jyn [Rating: 10/10] really cool scene at all times. i like takuya's look in this drama. so handsome. and not to forget kou also. like her cool characteristics. and that 'kouda-san' also eh... glad that i bought this drama ...i have...u have...
99.	Comments by koichininoyu [Rating: 8/10] nice drama by kimura..the only drama i watched after his Long Vacation hehe ^^
100.	Comments by Gimackii [Rating: 8/10] Good. Takuya Kimura is always great!! Being a pilot or flight attendent seems sooo cool now!! ^o^
101.	Comments by oyaduras [Rating: 8/10] Addicting to watch. Shibasaki Kou is good at the stoic tough girl. Same with Tsutsumi Shinichi. Lots of good actors in this one.
102.	Comments by Longman [Rating: 8/10] The most eye-catching roles are that of Captain Koda, the unfeeling "cyborg", followed by the clueless Korean neighbour who steal the show each time she appears. This series is really good thanks to the directing, casting and interesting insights in this line of work.
103.	Comments by lala81 [Rating: ?/10] downloaded havent watch
104.	Comments by Superpimp2g [Rating: 9/10] Excellent Drama series. The soundtrack is great and the storyline is very good. Must watch.

107.	Comments by g_hunter1 [Rating: 8/10] A pretty entertaining series where a young man strives to be the best pilot. It has it dramatic and romantic moments. Glad to see it.
108.	Comments by 206 [Rating: 9/10] Nice show! Kou Shibasaki did an excellent job with her stuborn character. Right when she breaks into a smile she sure is cute. And what is Kimura's neighbor about? I can see why this one is popular.
109.	Comments by eltinator [Rating: 10/10] An excellent drama about pilots! Very interesting and exciting all throughout. Shibasaki Kou was very cute and lively! She's the best behind Aya-chan :P A great supporting cast to go with Kou and Kimutaku as well. I think I want to be a pilot now! Good Luck!
110.	Comments by areins7 [Rating: 10/10] anything that have Takuya,i'll give 2 thumbs up!!
111.	Comments by yamada_taro [Rating: 10/10] One of the best dramas I've seen, hands down. I don't need to say anything about it, just watch it. :D
112.	Comments by nad [Rating: 9/10] yet another cool performance by kimutaku..very ambitious pilot
113.	Comments by yijing [Rating: 8/10] love it man! watched it thrice? learn alot of tech terms through the show...i like it when Kimura is not acting too much in his usual love hero...& as well as not the know-it-all, but simply someone who is still learning...
114.	Comments by Mr.ChoyBoi [Rating: 10/10] Very Very Good!!!... Great story line and didnt stray off the topic.... and also had a small love story... good stuff!!

117.	Comments by lady_arwen [Rating: 10/10] interesting!!
118.	Comments by kimurababe [Rating: ?/10] still watching...so far, it's good!
119.	Comments by kaonashi [Rating: 10/10] A Kimura Takuya drama always comes with high expectations. Good luck doesn't disappoint. A high class drama with high class casting. Good plots, fast pace & funny. And I loved the airline theme. No need to say more, one of the absolute best drama ever.
120.	Comments by Nekobus [Rating: 9/10] Great, great drama. Really interesting as a portrayal of what happens behind the scenes of an airline, and since it was produced with the cooperation of ANA, I assume it's fairly accurate as far as the technical details. Really strong characterizations all around, as almost all of the characters are varied and not just one-dimensional stereotypes as you see in dramas sometimes. I like how the characters also had their own roles and identities as well as their own subplots, instead of just merely serving to play off Kimutaku. All the principals are good in their parts, like Takuya, Kou and Shinichi Tsutsumi. Also some strong supporting parts by the late Ikariya Chousuke as Shinkai's father, and Naoto Takenaka providing some great comic relief in a smaller role.

126.	Comments by gakuchi [Rating: 9/10] One word : SUGOI!
127.	Comments by ashitaka [Rating: 8/10] I really liked this drama. It wasn't SPECTACULAR, but it's a must see for real fans of the genre. I wasn't too into it at first, but Kou grows on you. Enjoy!
128.	Comments by Takumi_Fujihara [Rating: 7/10] An interesting drama
129.	Comments by Jeanxi [Rating: 6/10] Very good! Really like the story and the cast, especially Kuroki Hitomi and Tsutsumi Shinichi. Takuya's character is a bit too typical tho and there just seems to be some it factor lacking for me, thus the reason I didn't give it a higher rating.
130.	Comments by pawnakai [Rating: 10/10] Ride on time! Great song to an ever greater drama! Makes you wanna board an ANA plane! Different from Takuya's previous dramas.
131.	Comments by supersumoCG [Rating: 4/10] it was ok, didnt really like it. i havent watched the last episode yet, its on my computer, i want to watch it so i can just delete it, but i can't bring myself to watch it cause its boring.
132.	Comments by ForbiddenLover [Rating: 9/10] the usual kimura takuya drama..but quite good
133.	Comments by hitori [Rating: 10/10] Great drama! Watched it already 2 times and plan to watch it soon again! You have to see it!!
134.	Comments by Calintz [Rating: 8/10] Tsutsumi Shinichi is acting pretty well his role here , he'll become a (GPS) Great Pilot Shinichi ^^'
135.	*Comments by yen [Rating: 10/10]** Sugoi & Kakkoi dorama! I can rewatch this without getting sick of it ever. ^_^
136.	Comments by Geezer [Rating: 4/10] The shallowest, emptiest show I've seen Kimura do. Kou is lovely, but she's a statue.
137.	Comments by IniQx [Rating: 10/10] very creative story setting that looks into the life of pilots, stewards & technicans. altho the 2 leads (Kimura Takuya & Shibasaki Kou) aren't quite compaitable, the chemistry between them is unique. of coz not forgetting ageless gorgeous kuroki hitomi.
138.	Comments by nai_yve [Rating: 8/10] This was so good - great acting and cool setting!
139.	Comments by niko2x [Rating: 7/10] actually, i give this a 7.5. very good pairing of KimuTaku and Kou-san.
140.	Comments by trana87 [Rating: 10/10] this drama is my definate favorite, my first drama w/ kimutaku o____0 hohohoho

151.	Comments by Kaoruko [Rating: 8/10] Sweet. Kimura is cute as always
152.	Comments by pcmodem [Rating: 10/10] What a great show. Terrific performances from Tsutsumi Shinichi, Takuya Kimura, Shibasaki Kou, and Kuroki Hitomi. Funny, touching, wild, and crazy. Kou is so beautiful when she's angry. Yoon Son Ha is so funny as Kimura's wacky neighbor. Uchiyama Rina is sassy as ever.
153.	Comments by Danji [Rating: 7/10] This series was very touching to me. A man who has come to realize his dream, in this case being a pilot, by all odds working against him, and in the p[rocess finding, in a not so sappy way, a woman he loves, and has the opportunity to protect her. This series ends on a high note, and is, still, one of my favorites.
154.	Comments by anita [Rating: 10/10] I love TSUTSUMI SHINICHI because of Good Luck!!!
155.	Comments by RubenV [Rating: 9/10] Very good, gives you strength to follow your dreams
156.	Comments by HaN [Rating: 10/10] I lend my friends' vcd and watch it over and over. I never watch Kou Shibasaki before and she's good. Takuya and Kou really match in this drama. But don't forget Kuroki Hitomi. She looks so professional in this. This drama has all about airport people, pilots, flight attendents and also the technical groups. High recomended to whoever that works at airport!
157.	Comments by lil1dragonx2 [Rating: 10/10] This is my first jdorama and got me addicted to so many other!
158.	Comments by BlueImpulse [Rating: 10/10] There are very few TV shows that cover aviation in the detail that Good Luck does. Here's to more shows about the joys of flying! In addition, unlike many j-dramas I've watched, the romantic aspect isn't the sole focus of the show.
159.	Comments by takim [Rating: 8/10] Good Luck!
160.	Comments by atreyu112 [Rating: 8/10] Motivating drama
161.	Comments by komos [Rating: 10/10] The first drama that I watched. I really liked Kimutaku's performance in this and the theme song got me pumped up. Very entertaining and sometime very dramatic.
162.	Comments by arashilove [Rating: 8/10] It's surprisingly engaging. It may look boring because it takes place in an airport/airplane all the time, but it's not overloaded with characters and it has a good storyline. And of course, Kimura Takuya looks so kakkoi as a pilot!
163.	Comments by jjpsychic2 [Rating: 9/10] It makes me want to be a pilot. Of course, in Japan, many teens have watched this drama and has inspired them to become pilots. Tsutsumi is really good as an actor. He has impressed me a lot in Good Luck. And Shibasaki Kou will go far. Although I usually don't like the idea that theres always a solution in every episode, I liked the ideas they brought. Solid drama.
164.	Comments by cass_dust [Rating: 9/10] High rating woh.. not because of kimura.. and of course, bought the show because of hitomi, though she is not the major role, but she is just sutekii in the stewardess uniform!! :love_eyes: surprisingly, kou shibasaki gave an impressing performance in the show. think she can go all the way in future. :) plot is typical but real good.. one of the higher-rated show!
165.	Comments by moluska tatami [Rating: 8/10] the courage of new career setter... u do it ur own way
166.	Comments by kikkuman [Rating: 7/10] didnt care for kou, she's not attractive at all, ok if u like girls who look and act like a guy, not my cup of tea... NEEDED MORE RINA!!!
167.	Comments by Furutaimkira [Rating: 9/10] SHIBASAKI KOU......KIREI DES NE.......
168.	Comments by v1olet [Rating: 8/10] takuya kimura & sinichi tsutsumi are great, and so the ost (ride on time by tatsuro yamashita).
169.	Comments by shizukanaotoko [Rating: 9/10] it was a very good show~ i think it was insightful! you got to see what the mechanics that fix up the plane were like and the pilots!! its all about dreams~~ very good-
170.	Comments by MilkyWay [Rating: 9/10] Nice story, but I also have to admit that sometimes it was so boring to watch that I really wanted to skip some scenes ^^;
171.	Comments by enen_shun [Rating: 8/10] a really good drama !!! even my 5-yr old brother is engrossed wif that show .... hehez ~~ now Takuya Kimura is his idol ... haha ... a very nice show ~~ full of excitement and dream ... Takuya is once again ... soooo superb in the show !!
172.	Comments by blakmetalik [Rating: 8/10] I really enjoyed this drama because of the story and the complicated relationship between Kimura Takuya and Tsutsumi Shin'ichi (I love misunderstood, aloof characters like Tsutsumi's). Admittedly, there are some overly dramatic scenes and unrealistic situations, but it's all entertaining. Lots of colorful supporting characters, like the flight crew and the family of Kimura Takuya's character. Kou Shibaski acts well, but I couldn't see any chemistry between her and Kimura Takuya. One thing to note is the excellent ending theme!
173.	Comments by dannylai [Rating: 8/10] ...
174.	Comments by QQ [Rating: 10/10] Woowww.... it's a nice drama! I really LOVE it! Hmmm... Kou's and Kimutaku's acting were great! Even there's not much LOVE scene, but It's recommended to Watch! ^_^
175.	Comments by yon [Rating: 10/10] enjoy watching it & good luck to all the pilot around the world!!!
176.	Comments by warhero200 [Rating: 10/10] AWESOME!!! if u realise takuya made his character very very real and took care of the details..like he is very scared of cold weather,..and he loves to eat bananas and everytime he puts down his luggage, he'll massage his elbow...great wk!
177.	Comments by GIGI [Rating: 8/10] Really good visual! The father-son relationship was portrayed poignantly but the love story was a little lame and under developed. Again, Takuya makes eating a banana so sexy! :-)
178.	Comments by K.T.Tran [Rating: 10/10] "you have it" "I have it" "Good Luck"
179.	Comments by viOLet harukO [Rating: 9/10] a very nice sHow! takuya acted as shinkai!! If yOu wanna see how daShing and cUte takuya can be, dun forget tO watCh thiS drama!
180.	Comments by fahsum [Rating: 8/10] Nice drama and definitely a great drama to collect if you're a Kimura Takuya fan. This drama taught me a few airplane flying terms and although the drama wasn't climatic (which made it kinda boring sometimes), it was still entertaining to watch.
181.	Comments by Boogoo8 [Rating: 7/10] Quite good!
182.	Comments by pinkjelly [Rating: 10/10] simply the best!!!! i like the hairdo of kimura takuya in good luck!!!gosh!!!so hot!!!
183.	Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 8/10] This was another fun Kimura Takuya drama. As always, Kimura's dramas are usually better than the average JDorama. This time he takes the role of a co-pilot named Shinji who has dreams of flying his own plane. The series was good and I liked how it portrayed the daily crises that airline workers encounter on everyday flights. Things that we passengers don't ever worry about while we take the plane. The only problem I had with this drama is that I didn't like the female lead, the engineer. Both her and Kimura Takuya lacked chemistry together and she seemed to be "pissed" the entire time.
184.	Comments by celest8787 [Rating: 10/10] takuya kimura does his thing once again in this fabulous drama! he looks so cool as a pilot...romantic and touching... a must-watch!
185.	Comments by yt [Rating: 8/10] nice theme song
186.	Comments by uglymale [Rating: 9/10] I was totally into the pilot angle, LOL. KimuTaku is almost faultless and Kou Shibasaki scores a breakthrough. The theme song makes me want to be a pilot.
187.	Comments by schon [Rating: 9/10] kimutaku becomes a pilot.
188.	Comments by GreenIce [Rating: 9/10] This drama was based on the theme of commercial flying.. Kimura plays a young pilot who absolutely loves flying and dreams of becoming a captain one day. His straight-talking character is endearing because of his compassion and his desire to fly. The love story with kou Shibasaki was enjoyably similar to the love-hate relationship between Kimura and Takako in Love Gen. I felt that Tsutsumi Shinichi's portrayal of Capt Kouda was perfect to a t... the classic stone-cold-look but warmth-deep-inside character. I really sympathised with him as the true nature of his character unfolded. The couple of episodes near the ending really really touched me and the musical score was great and portrayed the emotion of the show excellently.. but I dint like the ending theme though. I rate this a must-watch.
189.	Comments by bibam [Rating: 9/10] Loved the innocent and straight forward personality portrayal of his role as Shinkai Hajime. Showed compassion towards work and life as a pilot. Really loved the bits of humor and comedy inserted here and there throughout the story, kept the storyline more interesting. The relationship between Shinkai and Ogawa was also good (annoying, love hate, and childlike romance). Also enjoyed the potrayal of the older couple relationship, between Captain Kouda and stewardess Noriko. Kuroki Hitomi adds class and elegance in her potrayal as Noriko. Truly enjoyable and highly recommended!
190.	Comments by tk_iva [Rating: 10/10] love this show.... takuya look great in the pilot uniform.
191.	Comments by kira69 [Rating: 8/10] plot and charas didnt surprise me. but great cast (crew? haha) and beautiful skies.
192.	Comments by SunnyDoll [Rating: 7/10] This is quite an ok drama to me. However compared to takuya's other drama this is the least interesting of them all. The actress wasn't veri good in her acting even though she look pretty. Well.... this is strictly for takuya's fans only.... thats my opinion anyway =D
193.	Comments by williu [Rating: 10/10] Probably my favorite drama - it gets you hooked instantly, each episode has a tons of things happening, and the storyline develops in a brilliant way. The acting is superb!
194.	Comments by johuth [Rating: ?/10] Bought means available for trade! COMPLETE
195.	Comments by Ushiroyubi [Rating: 9/10] awesome acting. some pretty intense emotional scenes scattered throughout kept me on my toes...
196.	Comments by koalabear [Rating: 10/10] What can I say, I have watched this drama about a squillion times! Put a website upon in its honour: http://www.gel.com.au/koala/goodluck/intro.htm and obsessed about it for hours. This is the jdorama that made me like Takuya Kimura and I think it's a wonderful ensemble performance with humour, drama and just the right touch of chemistry and romance. Although of course I love Long Vacation and Love Generation, but it's quite nice to have a drama where love is not the main theme but is a wonderful wide story. I also love having a drama where all of the actors and cast members are fabulous.......
197.	Comments by natzumi [Rating: 7/10] Nice setting and great soundtrack.
198.	Comments by D Ng [Rating: 2/10] It's so good and i like Mr. Kimura also
199.	Comments by Julianlivre [Rating: 9/10] A truly exciting drama, the acting and the story was awesome I really recomend this show.
200.	Comments by yan_ange [Rating: 10/10] One of the best....I loved Takuya and Kou in this....they were so cute together...the whole cast was superbed.....though the story was typical. But the supporting cast and the two leads made it worth while to sit through the whole drama....
201.	Comments by gomibagu [Rating: 8/10] Good drama.
202.	Comments by UzumakiJr [Rating: ?/10] dunno yet , haven't watched it
